Recommend Porto Half-Day Food Tour - Carlotta and Petito were amazing guides for our food tour. They gave the perfect balance of history and culture of Porto while bringing us to local restaurants to sample traditional Portuguese food. They were very personable and made sure all our dietary needs were met while making the trip so much fun! We especially liked the green wine and trying the delicious salted, dried mackerel for the first time. Thanks for the lovely afternoon in beautiful Porto.

This half day tour and taste of Porto was amazing! - We loved the personal tour of the city of Porto and special places we would have never discovered on our own. Ricardo was the best tour guide and gave us so much interesting history of Porto. This tour was one of the highlights of our time in Porto.

Delicious amd informative - We had a lovely time with Petito, and got to sample lots of tasty food while enjoying the sites and learning about Portuguese history. Our first stop, to eat rissoles, did not pan out due to vendor issues (they did not open on time, I suspect because the oven was broken or some other catastrophe) but Petito just rolled with the punches and brought us elsewhere … we did not feel we missed out at all and were clearly stuffed by the end of the tour!

We thoroughly enjoyed his knowledge, company and incredible discussions. The food we tasted and the places we went gave us such a great depth of the flavors of Porto and the foods know here. We highly recommend this tour with Gustavo. You will not be disappointed.

Perfect tour of UNESCO recognised old Porto with 2 amazing tour leaders. - Gustavo and Anna were waiting for us at the meeting point early. They were very well prepared, knowledgeable and professional. Aside from the tour content, which was perfect, they are both beautiful people who give all they possibly can of themselves to make their guests happy. The tour itself requires some walking on steeper slopes and stairs, so book it only if you are fairly mobile. If you are in Porto, even for a day, this tour is the best introduction to the UNESCO world heritage recognised area of Porto. It is not to be missed. The three of us were really touched by the knowledge, sincerity and kindness shown by Gustavo and Anna. Don't hesitate to book this tour and request them
